With the BMW Digital Key Setup Card, you can set up the BMW Digital Key for your iPhone, link your vehicle with your BMW ID, and activate your profile in your BMW, all in one simple process.
The Setup Card comes with many new BMW models to set up your BMW Digital Key.
- Hold the card to the NFC antenna of your iPhone, and tap on the message to go directly to the welcome screen in the My BMW App. Otherwise, install the app and create a BMW ID or log in. Alternatively, you can scan the QR code on the back of the Setup Card to get started.
- When prompted, hold the Setup Card to the iPhone again to authorize as the vehicle owner.
- Press “Continue” to link your vehicle with your BMW ID. Once the automatic vehicle connection is done, you can directly set up your BMW Digital Key.
- Now, enter your vehicle, carrying both the physical key and your iPhone.
- In the My BMW App, confirm and select “Finalize Setup”. The BMW Digital Key is stored securely in the wallet of your iPhone.
- You will get a notification on the device, as well as in the car. You can also directly add your Digital Key to your Apple Watch.
- Finally press "Change BMW ID" to have your BMW ID with your personal settings activated in your vehicle and linked to your Digital Key.
Store the Setup Card in a safe location, such as the vehicle owner's home. Your BMW is now also linked to the My BMW App which offers remote controls and even more functions in proximity of the vehicle. You can now enter and start your BMW with your iPhone and Apple Watch, even without taking out your device. And by unlocking with the Digital Key, your personal BMW ID settings are automatically activated.
